Conversation
…eep a marked bun patch copy With the isolated linker, a real directory where the root or a workspace links a dependency stayed in place, whatever it was. A package folder that the hoisted linker, npm or yarn left in a workspace's node_modules survived the next install, and the workspace loaded a version that bun.lock does not name. bun patch now makes an empty .bun-patch-tag directory in the copy it prepares. The linker keeps a directory that has this marker. It removes an empty directory. It moves any other directory to .old_<name> beside the link, writes the link, and the install prints one note that says where the directory is. A directory that cannot move fails the install with an error that names it. bun patch --commit refuses a target that is a link, because the diff of a link is a patch that deletes every file. It also refuses a moved directory that holds another version than the installed package.

Record the displacement in the existing `Displaced` collection when the rollback
rename fails, using `self.dest` as the link and `aside` as the moved location,
then return the original symlink error.
- Around line 225-251: Update replace_directory to preserve any existing

Do not delete an existing .old_<name> directory.
replace_directory uses the fixed .old_<name> path and calls recursive delete_tree before renameat. On a repeat install, this removes edits from the previous displaced directory. If renameat then fails, those edits are already lost.
The repeat-install test currently encodes this loss by expecting first.js to disappear. Change the behavior and test to use a collision-safe aside name, or fail before deleting an existing aside directory.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Report the original symlink error when the directory cannot move back.
If self.symlink() fails and the rename back also fails, the ? operator returns the rename error. The original symlink error is lost. The directory then stays at .old_<name>, and no Displaced record exists, so the main thread does not report the move. The rollback here is a rare path, and the comment states this behavior on purpose. Even so, the user loses the cause of the first failure. One fix is to record the displacement before the function returns, so report_displaced_folders names the new location.
Proposed fix
if let Err(err) = self.symlink() {
- bun_sys::renameat(Fd::cwd(), aside.slice_z(), Fd::cwd(), self.dest.slice_z())?;
+ if bun_sys::renameat(Fd::cwd(), aside.slice_z(), Fd::cwd(), self.dest.slice_z()).is_err() {

+ link: Box::from(self.dest.slice()),
+ moved_to: Box::from(aside.slice()),
+ });

🔴 Users who already have a .old_<name> folder beside a link lose its contents for good on the next install, with no warning, while the base branch never deletes anything at that path. replace_directory at Symlinker.rs:235 runs delete_tree on the existing .old_<name> before the rename, so an earlier displaced folder is wiped, and it is wiped even when the rename then fails with EXDEV. The note at Installer.rs:2150 only says the new folder was moved. Fix: never destroy a prior .old_<name> silently; pick a free name (such as a numeric suffix) or fail the link with an error naming the existing folder, and only delete after the user removes it. [also at: src/install/isolated_install/Symlinker.rs:237 - Users who get a second stale folder at the same link lose the earlier .old_<name> folder silently, something the base branch never deletes.]
Why this was flagged
A project has node_modules/.old_foo from an earlier install that moved a real node_modules/foo aside. Later another real directory appears at node_modules/foo (npm or Yarn install in the same tree, or a hoisted-linker run) and the user runs bun install --linker isolated. Strategy::ExpectExisting reaches replace_occupant (Symlinker.rs:160), rmdir returns ENOTEMPTY, and replace_directory (Symlinker.rs:227) calls Fd::cwd().delete_tree(aside.slice()) at Symlinker.rs:235 on the existing .old_foo before renaming the new folder onto it. The old folder is recursively deleted with no message; report_displaced_folders prints only that the new folder moved to .old_foo. If the rename after delete_tree fails (EXDEV on an overlay, ENAMETOOLONG) the old folder is already gone and the install errors. On the base branch ensure_symlink returned Ok(false) for any directory and never deleted or renamed anything beside the link.
Verification: Dir::delete_tree (src/sys/dir.rs:117) is a recursive removal, so whatever was previously moved to .old_<name> is destroyed before the rename (src/install/isolated_install/Symlinker.rs:235-238). Because the and_then chain deletes first, a rename failure (EXDEV) leaves the prior .old_<name> already gone and the install errors. On the base branch ensure_symlink returned Ok(false) for any directory and never deleted anything there.

🟡 (optional) Users whose stale dependency folder sits on a lower overlayfs layer (a Docker image layer) now get a failed bun install where the base exits 0. replace_directory at Symlinker.rs:235 only has renameat to move the folder to .old_<name>; overlayfs answers EXDEV for a lower-layer directory, Windows answers EPERM/EACCES while any file inside is open, and both are returned as a task failure. Fix: on EXDEV (and the Windows sharing error) fall back to copying the tree to .old_<name> plus delete_tree of the original, as mv(1) does, so the link is still written. The PR notes call the EXDEV failure accepted; it hits every Docker build that COPYs an npm or hoisted node_modules and then runs an isolated install.
Why this was flagged
A Dockerfile does COPY . . with a workspace checkout whose packages/m/node_modules/<dep> is a real directory from npm, Yarn or the hoisted linker, then RUN bun install with linker = "isolated"; the copied tree is a lower overlayfs layer. The task reaches Symlinker.rs:108 replace_occupant, rmdir at Symlinker.rs:164 returns ENOTEMPTY, and replace_directory calls bun_sys::renameat at Symlinker.rs:236. overlayfs without redirect_dir (Docker's overlay2 default) returns EXDEV for renaming a directory that exists only in a lower layer. The error is returned at Symlinker.rs:238 and Installer.rs:356 prints failed to symlink dependencies for package, and the install exits nonzero. On the base branch the same directory was kept (if is_dir { return Ok(false); }) and the build passed. The same failure occurs on Windows when a running process holds a file inside the folder open. The PR description lists the EXDEV failure under Downsides, which does not change that the build now fails where it passed.
Verification: replace_directory (src/install/isolated_install/Symlinker.rs) on any error returns Err(err.with_path_dest(...)); no errno is mapped to a benign path. bun_sys::renameat (src/sys/lib.rs:2438) is a bare libc::renameat with no EXDEV fallback. On the base the same occupant hit the removed if is_dir { return Ok(false); } arm and the install exited 0.

🟡 (optional) Users who re-run bun patch on a workspace-nested dependency, then run any install before committing, get a bun patch --commit that succeeds on the wrong copy. detach_module_folder_from_shared_store at patchPackage.rs:1060 replaces the root workspace link node_modules/m with an unmarked real directory, and mark_patch_copy at patchPackage.rs:1072 marks only the nested folder. The next install moves node_modules/m to .old_m and restores the link, so the printed commit path now resolves to the first copy. Fix: mark every directory the detach creates (or refuse to detach a Root/Workspace link), so the install keeps the tree that holds the copy.
Why this was flagged
Isolated linker, workspace m depends on nested. First bun patch nested@ v unlinks node_modules/m/node_modules/nested and marks the copy. A second bun patch nested@ v finds a real dir at the nested path, walks up at patchPackage.rs:1242, finds node_modules/m is a link, unlinks it at patchPackage.rs:1215 and make_paths a real node_modules/m/node_modules at patchPackage.rs:1238. Only module_folder gets the marker at patchPackage.rs:1072; node_modules/m has none. Any bun install/bun add before the commit hits Symlinker.rs:244: node_modules/m is an unmarked directory, so it moves to node_modules/.old_m and the link to packages/m is rewritten. The printed bun patch --commit node_modules/m/node_modules/nested now reaches packages/m/node_modules/nested, the marked first copy, which is a real dir, so the new link check at patchPackage.rs:337 does not fire. The commit silently emits the first copy's diff; the user's new edits sit in node_modules/.old_m/node_modules/nested. On base node_modules/m stayed a real dir and the commit path committed the current edits.
Verification: detach_module_folder_from_shared_store unlinks node_modules/m at patchPackage.rs:1215; mark_patch_copy at patchPackage.rs:1072 marks only node_modules/m/node_modules/nested. The next install moves unmarked node_modules/m to .old_m and restores the link. link_target at patchPackage.rs:337 then reaches the first copy, so the guard does not fire and its diff is written with exit 0. On main node_modules/m stays and the commit is correct.

🟡 (optional) Users who type bun patch --commit node_modules/x/ with a trailing slash (what shell tab completion produces) get no link error and no note about the moved .old_x folder, so they never learn where an install put their edits. link_target at patchPackage.rs:337 calls readlink on the raw argument; with a trailing slash the kernel resolves through the link and returns EINVAL, so the guard returns None. Fix: strip the trailing separator (as is_displaced_folder already does via strings::without_trailing_slash) before readlink, so every spelling of a link path hits the check and prints the .old_ recovery note.
Why this was flagged
The PR itself creates the population: an install moves an unmarked copy to .old_x and the user's node_modules/x becomes a link again. The user then runs the commit command, and tab completion appends / to a symlink-to-directory. link_target at patchPackage.rs:63 passes changes_dir unchanged to sys::readlink; readlink("node_modules/x/") fails with EINVAL on Linux and macOS because the trailing slash forces traversal, so .ok()? yields None and the guard at patchPackage.rs:337 is skipped. The displaced_folder note at patchPackage.rs:343, the only place that tells the user about .old_x, is never printed. Execution continues to the git diff of the store entry against itself, giving 'No changes detected' or an empty patch, exactly the base behaviour the guard was added to replace. Remedy: normalise changes_dir with strings::without_trailing_slash before link_target and displaced_folder.
Verification: Triggered when the user passes the Path argument with a trailing separator (bun patch --commit node_modules/x/) while node_modules/x is a link. link_target (patchPackage.rs:80-86) calls sys::readlink with .ok()? at line 84; readlink("node_modules/x/") fails with EINVAL, so link_target returns None and the new guard at patchPackage.rs:337 does not fire. The base branch produces the same "No changes detected"/exit 0 outcome for this input.

🟡 (optional) Every user upgrading with an in-progress bun patch copy has that copy moved to .old_<name> on the first install, and the store entry is linked in its place. The base branch never creates .bun-patch-tag (only the unlink at commit existed), so no existing copy carries the marker that occupant at Symlinker.rs:211 requires; replace_occupant at Symlinker.rs:162 then rmdirs, gets ENOTEMPTY and moves the folder at Symlinker.rs:235. Edits made afterwards at node_modules/<name> land in the shared store entry. Fix: treat an unmarked directory as a patch copy when the lockfile lists that package in patchedDependencies or the install is not the first with this marker scheme, or at least print the note before the move.
Why this was flagged
Population: anyone who ran bun patch <pkg> on any Bun before this change and upgrades before committing. The base branch at 9ed8d11 has no creator for .bun-patch-tag (patchPackage.rs shows only the unlink at line 600), so no pre-existing copy is marked. After the upgrade, bun install hits readlink EINVAL at Symlinker.rs:108, occupant lstat of <dest>/.bun-patch-tag returns ENOENT at Symlinker.rs:213, and replace_directory renames the copy to .old_<name> at Symlinker.rs:235 and writes the link to the store. One note is printed at the end (Installer.rs:2149), but --silent installs show nothing. A user who keeps editing node_modules/<name> after that now writes into the shared store, which is what detach_module_folder_from_shared_store (patchPackage.rs:1060) exists to prevent. On the base branch the copy stayed and the commit worked. Remedy: keep an unmarked directory at a link whose package is listed in patchedDependencies or whose package.json version matches the lockfile, instead of moving it.
Verification: The base never creates the marker: base patchPackage.rs references .bun-patch-tag only in the sys::unlink at line 600. readlink on the real directory falls to replace_occupant (Symlinker.rs:108); occupant gets ENOENT and returns Occupant::Directory (lines 210-216); replace_occupant rmdirs (line 162), gets ENOTEMPTY and replace_directory renames the copy to .old_<name> (lines 234-236). The base had if is_dir { return Ok(false); }.

🟡 (optional) Users with a project path near PATH_MAX whose dependency slot holds a real directory get a panic in bun install instead of the base branch's kept directory. marker.append(PATCH_COPY_MARKER) at Symlinker.rs:212 runs on an ASSUME-mode Path, where overflow does not return Err but panics inside PooledBuf::append (documented at Path.rs:128-130), so let _ = discards nothing and the 15-byte marker suffix past the buffer end aborts the process. Fix: check dest.len() + PATCH_COPY_MARKER.len() + 1 against the buffer before appending (or use a CheckForGreaterThanMaxPath path and map Err to a loud bun_sys::Error), on both the POSIX and Windows arms.
Why this was flagged
Trigger: dest (absolute <project>/.../node_modules/<name>) is within 15 bytes of the pooled path buffer capacity and is occupied by a real directory. readlink at Symlinker.rs:90 succeeds in reaching the slot (path still under PATH_MAX) and fails with EINVAL, so replace_occupant runs. occupant at Symlinker.rs:211-212 does self.dest.save() then marker.append(PATCH_COPY_MARKER). Path.rs:893-992 shows the length check only runs when CHECK == CheckForGreaterThanMaxPath; bun_paths::Path is the ASSUME alias (Path.rs:123-134), so buf_append_input indexes past the end and panics. The same let _ = marker.append exists in the Windows arm at Symlinker.rs:194. readlink only rejects paths over PATH_MAX, not paths 15 bytes under it, and the base branch (Symlinker.rs:102 at 9ed8d11) only lstat'd dest itself, which fits. Remedy: bound the append and return a bun_sys::Error with ENAMETOOLONG and the path.
Verification: Triggers when the path <project>/.../node_modules/<name> is within 15 bytes of MAX_PATH_BYTES and a real directory stands at that path; inside it the PR turns the base's "keep the directory, Ok(false)" into a process abort at Symlinker.rs:211-212. Path::append only performs the length check when CHECK == CheckForGreaterThanMaxPath (src/paths/Path.rs:982-986); let _ = discards an Ok(()) that is never Err.

Rejected: delete a moved folder when it is a provable duplicate of the cache. The proof needs a walk of the folder and of the cache entry, and a folder of the hoisted linker shares its file data with the cache already (hardlink and clonefile backends).
Question for a maintainer. The review of #41453 asked for a
package.jsonprobe. A stale package folder and abun patchcopy both have apackage.json, so that probe cannot separate them. Is the.bun-patch-tagmarker acceptable in its place?Suites (debug build):
